T, A, is accepted, The Ontario Temperance Act is a splendid piece of Legislation and in. many respects is more restrictive than. the G. T. A. and the flues much more severe. The 0, T. A. will trot however be re. pealed but merely suspended, as local Option is now in many places) and should the Provincial law be set aside at any fulane time Huron County would again be under the 0,'T, A.

As soon as Brussels Fall Fair is over a hearty and united effort should be pro. moted for one or more rousing enter• taintnnents to provide finances to give the Town Hall some very accessary interior fixing up. The Council Chamber re- quires it badly and the auditorium and stage worse still. The Hail, although somewhat antiquated, might be made a cosy and modern appearing meeting place without the expenditure of an enor, moue sum. We would suggest the nam- ing of a small Committee, headed by Reeve Plum, to visit other towns with up-to-date public Hails and see what they are like and tbereby secure data to go by. Then another Committee could arrange for a program, deciding whether local or outsido talent, date, &e. Possibly a good ontertaibment by the home folk, made up of vocal and in- strumental lnusie, readings, dialogues and other items would prove attractive, with the object of the gathertug kept In mind, Whatever is done should be a matter of promptness and good fellow- ship and with a happy Commingling and a loyal response suecees would be sure to fellow.
